Originally posted by TaoMaas You should have stopped there...but you didn't. That's what I was commenting on. Sorry...but this kind of "measure-bating" drives me crazy. Everyone can read about lenses. The OP was wanting to know what people who have used both have found. You have used one of them and you are very right to share your experiences. Stick to what you know.
Originally posted by TaoMaas I don't have those lenses, so I can't comment on their quality vs each other, but if I were you, I'd ask myself if I intended to upgrade to a FF camera when/if Pentax comes out with one. If you think that's a possibility, it might be worth it to hang onto the 20-35 for a while longer.
Yes, OP was asking about two specific lenses. I thought it was relevant to mention another alternative. Likewise, you thought it was relevant to comment on the possibility of upgrading to FF when the OP never mentioned anything about FF
and you haven't ever used those two lenses. Both our posts were slightly off topic but I think they were relevant. Don't be hypocritical. Either way, let the OP decide for himself what is relevant to his decision. You don't have to be the forum police.
If you think my statements are wrong or misguided, you can provide evidence (like northcoastgreg) that adds to the discussion, as opposed to just tossing out an insult at me.
I won't be continuing this argument as the thread has derailed enough. Sorry OP.
